<div>It seems to me that the easiest manipulation would be to modify the windows U-value. You are in essence saying that all or a portion of the heat transfer of cold air in the winter would be cancelled by the coating. Then you could add a false plug load
to account for the electricity consumed.</div>

<p dir="ltr">Hello all, </p>
<p dir="ltr">Thank you so much for the valuable input. The windows wouldn't consume more than 150W. They have some special coatings to reflect the heat off of the inner surface of the outer window, thereby keeping most of the heat within, and thus effecting
having a much lower U value than passive windows (that's what the manufacturer claims). I intend to model that, and then compare that with an experimental setup to see what is really happening.
</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'll look through the older treads attached to the mail, and see how baseboard heating works for my setup.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thank you all again! </p>
<p dir="ltr">Sincerely, <br>
Hari </p>

<div><span>Could you possibly use Baseboard heating to simulate the heated windows? Baseboards are usually under windows anyway to mitigate transmission loads. Not sure how you measure the kBtu/kW of your windows, but you can translate into the same heating
capacity.</span></div>

<div>Hello,<br>
<br>
</div>
I am trying to model a building with heated windows (windows with heating elements). The windows are not meant for comfort heating of the building. Just localized heating for improving the comfort conditions in the building. I have looked all over and couldn't
find a way to model them. Can someone suggest how I could go about this in eQuest?<br>
<br>
</div>
Thank you.<br>
